Final Fantasy XVI Will Have A 'Story-Focused' Mode For Unversed Action Game Players | FF XVI (2023)
215Many modern Final Fantasy games have shifted away from turn-based gameplay to a more action-oriented style, and Final Fantasy 16 will continue this trend, according to Naoki Yoshida. To get through the game, players will have to rely heavily on their reactions and finesse. For most, this isn't a big issue; some even prefer a higher difficulty curve. However, for others, action-based games aren't their forte, and their mechanics make it hard for them to enjoy or even fully experience the story.
Yoshida recognizes these players and the others who simply want to focus more on Final Fantasy 16's story, which will be as large a part of the game as its action-heavy combat. As a result, Yoshida says that Final Fantasy 16 will have a mode that focuses specifically on its story. The FF16 producer and co-director claimed so in the latest episode of the Tokyo FM radio show One Morning, where he was asked how his self-described, action-oriented game would treat unversed players.
Yoshida didn't give any specifics on the mode, but he's more than likely just talking about the "Easy" difficulty setting. In most action RPGs, this mode is the one for casual players who don't enjoy the stress of battles and simply want to experience the game's story. This description is pretty much how Final Fantasy 7 Remake's difficulty settings describe the mode, just to give an example. If Yoshida plans to have the game mode work differently or be something new entirely, he, again, didn't say.
